Iran independent in missile technology





by
Iran's Islamic Revolution's Guards Corps (IRGC) has concluded the final stage of its missile drill with the firing of the indigenous 'Persian Gulf' rocket at mock sea targets.

In the last phase of the missile drill, named 'the Great Prophet 7,' the IRGC aerospace forces also bombarded designated targets by jetfighters as well as pilotless aerial drones, IRNA reported Wednesday.

IRGC's three-day missile drill began Monday in the central Iranian province of Semnan.

The second and major part of the drill was conducted Tuesday when IRGC bomber drones struck their targets in the Lut Desert in northern Semnan, where medium- and short-range missiles also hit "simulations of the transregional forces' airbases."

The domestically-built missiles include Shahab (Meteor) 1, 2, 3, Khalij Fars (Persian Gulf), Tondar (Lightning), Fateh (Victor) and Zelzal (Quake) as well as Qiam (Uprising).

Press TV has conducted an interview with Nader Mokhtari, a columnist and commentator, to further talk over the issue.
